All Susan wants is to get through this visit from her controlling parents without tumbling down a black hole of despair. But galactic forces are colliding at her whimsical B&B, Wits’ End, and her parents have plans of their own.

When two men die on the same day, both mysterious deaths are tied to her mom and dad. Meanwhile, a squirrel scofflaw is riling up the tiny mountain town of Doyle, and Susan realizes she’s the only person who can stop the madness.

A short excerpt from the book!

As if my fingers were far, far away, I felt my hands loosen. I dimly heard my cleaning bucket of brushes and other supplies thud to the carpet in room seven.

Bailey howled and raced from the room, his ears flapping. And who could blame him? The room itself seemed to revolt at the scene. Even the faked pie-tin UFO photo hung at an awkward angle above the rumpled bed.

Early evening shadows knifed across my mother’s sensible shoes. She sat in a vintage wing chair in one corner of the room. “Shut the door,” she commanded and removed the clip from a Russian pistol.

Automatically, I obeyed.

Mouth slack, I backed against the door. “You… That’s…” My breath came in quick gasps. Dots swam in front of my eyes. This wasn’t my first body in the B&B. But…

The leg slipped in my father’s grip, the shoe inching closer to his shoulder.

Briefly, I wondered if this was what lost time felt like, this sense of being out of phase, outside ordinary reality. Unthinking, I groped for my day planner. But of course, it wasn’t there. I didn’t carry it around when I cleaned.

Should I?

My thoughts on War of the Squirrels by Kirsten Weiss

This delightful cozy mystery is full of quirky characters, zany plots, and outrageous fun.

I have not read the first books in this series, but had no trouble becoming immersed in the story. The plot grabs you and doesn’t let go.

The author provides nonstop action, storylines so crazy they must be true, and most of all a fun respite from mundane life.

Join Susan and the residents of Doyle as they deal with murder, mayhem, and more. With her planner in hand, Susan tries to conquer issues with domineering parents, “alien” squirrels, and murder suspects, to name a few.

Please pick up a copy of War of the Squirrels today. You will laugh out loud at the antics, while trying to solve the murders in this delightful cozy mystery.
